Egypt sentences 14 to death over Sinai attacks
An Egyptian court sentenced on Monday 14 militant Islamists to death by hanging and four to life imprisonment over attacks on  army and police forces in the Sinai Peninsula last year.   

The men, who belonged to a militant group called Tawheed and Jihad, were charged by the prosecutor with killing three police officers, an army officer and a civilian in attacks carried out in June and July, 2011.   

Eight of the 14 death sentences were in absentia, court sources said.
